The parts produced by traditional injection molding technology have gradually shown limitations in performance and material utilization efficiency. Especially in the context of pursuing higher strength, lower weight and better environmental adaptability, conventional injection molding technology is difficult to meet the market demand for high-performance materials. Among them, the twin-screw extrusion system, as an advanced form of injection molding technology, has significantly improved the flexibility and freedom of formula design by deeply integrating material technology with injection molding technology, so that the performance potential of high-performance materials such as fiber-reinforced plastics can be fully explored and demonstrated.
[0003] The core advantage of the twin-screw extrusion system lies in its excellent mixing and plasticizing capabilities. It can efficiently process complex mixtures including various resin matrices, fiber-reinforced materials and a variety of additives, and achieve highly uniform material dispersion and precise temperature control management. However, this technology is not without challenges. The integration of twin-screw compounding technology and injection molding technology spans two completely different technical fields, with high technical barriers, especially in the precision design of screw elements and the operation and maintenance of the overall equipment, which requires technicians with profound professional knowledge, which places strict demands on the skill level of end users.

[0040] The present invention provides a mixing injection molding device, an injection molding machine and a method, which are mainly used in the field of material processing. The equipment is easy to operate and maintain; a specially designed single screw is sufficient to meet the mixing of material additives and fibers. By combining a single-screw mixing method with a standard injection molding screw, the freedom of material formula design is met and it can be compatible with standard injection molding equipment. The single-screw extruder and the single-screw injection device are connected by telecommunications. When the single-screw extruder rotates, it can be started and stopped simultaneously with the single-screw injection device during the injection molding cycle through software control. It is more power-saving than a twin-screw extruder that does not stop, and it saves energy at the same time, meeting its perfect combination of specific scenarios and versatility, and also eliminating complex structures such as melt buffers. The mechanical structure of the single-screw extrusion system and the injection system of the injection molding equipment has been redesigned compared to the classic twin-screw mixing injection molding equipment, making it streamlined and easy to operate; the overall solution is more efficient.
[0041] An embodiment of one aspect of the present invention, in combination with Figure 1 As shown, an embodiment of the present invention provides a mixing injection molding device, including a single screw extrusion system 1, including a single screw extrusion device 11 and a first feeding port 12 opened at one end of the single screw extruder, and the other end of the single screw extrusion device 11 is provided with a first discharge port 13; and an injection molding machine injection system 2, the injection molding machine injection system 2 includes a single screw injection device 21 and a second feeding port 23 opened on the single screw injection device 21, the first discharge port 13 is connected to the second feeding port 23; wherein the second feeding port 23 is connected to the second discharge port 1 ... The port 23 is located at the upstream position of the single screw injection device 21 in the material flow direction, and the single screw extrusion system 1 and the injection molding machine injection system 2 can work in conjunction or the injection molding machine injection system 2 can work alone, making the process more streamlined and the equipment easy to operate and maintain. The single screw extrusion system 1 and the injection molding machine injection system 2 are connected and can also be compatible with the injection molding mode at the same time, and can directly realize the injection molding function of the injection molding machine. The injection molding machine injection system 2 can start and stop with the single screw extrusion system 1 according to the injection molding cycle through software control. The single screw extrusion system 1 and the injection molding machine injection system 2 are connected to ensure joint work, and can be switched to the conventional injection molding mode at the same time, so that the direct mixing technology and conventional injection molding can be flexibly switched and compatible with each other, which increases the use scenarios of the equipment and reduces the startup loss and production costs.
[0042] In this embodiment, the injection molding machine injection system 2 is arranged horizontally, the single screw extrusion system 1 is installed at a preset angle with the injection molding machine injection system 2, the preset angle is 30 degrees to 60 degrees, the single screw extrusion system 1 is located directly above the injection molding machine injection system 2, and the single screw extrusion device 11 is mechanically connected to the single screw injection device 21. If an external work frame is installed, the single screw extrusion system 1 can save working space and can also avoid the single screw extrusion system 1 being too high or excessively affecting the processing effect.
[0043] Furthermore, a first single screw 14 is provided inside the single-screw extruder 11; a second single screw 25 is provided inside the single-screw injection device 21, the first single screw 14 and the second single screw 25 are connected via telecommunication, and when the first single screw 14 rotates, the first single screw 14 and the second single screw 25 can be started and stopped during the injection cycle through software control, and the first single screw 14 and the second single screw 25 are controlled by input from the equipment controller, and can be stopped when processing is not required, thereby saving the operating cost of the device.
[0044] Among them, the screw aspect ratio of the first single screw 14 is 25-35, the second single screw 25 is a standard injection molding screw or a special functional screw, and the rotational speed percentage of the second single screw 25 and the first single screw 14 is 20%-73%. By setting the aspect ratio of the first single screw 14, it is ensured that the first single screw 14 can fully mix and melt different components. The second single screw 25 can use any screw in the injection molding plasticizing work and can operate normally, and the versatility is extremely high. The rotational speeds of the first single screw 14 and the second single screw 25 can ensure that they are suitable for processing any plastic material in the current plastic processing field.
[0045] The injection molding machine injection system 2 also includes a nozzle 22 and a third feed port 24. The nozzle 22 is a locking type and is installed at the end position of the material flow direction of the single screw injection device 21. The third feed port 24 is located at one end of the single screw injection device 21 away from the nozzle 22, and is used to directly feed the single screw injection device 21. The locking nozzle 22 is opened during the injection pressure holding stage and closed during the material storage stage. The second single screw 25 can directly hold the pressure of the entire product, eliminating the need for multiple valves, making the operation simpler. When the injection molding machine injection system 2 works alone, it can directly discharge the material through the third feed port 24, which is easy to operate and does not require other equipment for transition.
[0046] In this embodiment, an early warning system is also included, which includes a pressure sensor 3 arranged at the connection position between the single-screw extrusion system 1 and the injection molding machine injection system 2, which is used to detect the internal material pressure of the single-screw extruder 11 and make a pressure warning. The pressure sensor 3 can set the pressure value to be tolerated according to processing needs and promptly alarm when the pressure value is exceeded.
[0047] It is understandable that since the mixing and injection molding device can blend plastic resin components, it can include PP (polypropylene material), PE (polyethylene material), ABS (acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene plastic), PC / ABS (engineering plastic alloy), PC (polycarbonate plastic), PA (polyamide plastic), EPDM (ethylene propylene diene monomer rubber material), PLA (polylactic acid material), etc., among which PP and PE constitute polyolefin materials; additives can be added, including filler mineral powder, heat stabilizer, UV absorber, impact modifier, conductive filler, etc.; at the same time, the components that can be enhanced include glass fiber, carbon fiber, aramid fiber, etc. The special design can complete the blending modification and melt plasticization between different formula components, and can achieve the processing of different varieties, making the mixing and injection molding device more widely applicable.
[0048] Furthermore, the single-screw extruder 11 is directly connected to the single-screw injection device 21, eliminating the melt buffer in the middle of the classic twin-screw system as a buffer part, making the entire structure simpler and easier to operate, saving floor space, and facilitating maintenance by staff. Reducing the melt buffer is more conducive to maintaining better performance of the material melt under limited residence time, thereby ensuring the stability of the material during the plasticization process.
[0049] In this embodiment, direct mixing reduces the complexity of the equipment structure, reduces the difficulty of operation and maintenance, and broadens the scope of application of the equipment while ensuring the blending, melting and plasticization of materials with different formulas.
[0050] According to one embodiment of the present invention, Figure 3 As shown, an embodiment of the invention provides an injection molding machine, including an injection molding machine housing 4, the injection molding machine housing 4 is an open rectangular shell structure, and the injection molding machine injection system 2 is fixedly installed inside the injection molding machine housing 4 along the long end direction of the injection molding machine housing 4.
[0051] In another embodiment, a mixing injection molding method is provided, comprising: Mixing stage: the hopper of the weight loss metering system adds the plastic resin material and the corresponding formula components into the single screw extruder system 1 through the first feeding port 12 according to the preset ratio for mixing to obtain a mixed material; Plasticizing stage: the mixed material is transported from the first discharge port 13 of the single screw extruder system 1 to the second single screw 25 of the injection molding machine injection system 2 through a channel to obtain injection molding material; Wherein, a pressure sensor 3 is provided in the channel; Injection stage: The injection molding material is injected through the nozzle 22 to the working device of the next stage.
[0052] In this embodiment, during the injection molding stage, the single-screw extruder system 1 rotates, and the material to be processed is fed from the first feeding port 12. Each component of the material to be processed is added to the weight loss metering system in sufficient quantity according to the production demand share, and each component is placed in a separate hopper. The weight loss metering system can accurately discharge the material according to the preset proportion of the component. The continuous rotation of the single screw can ensure the melting, mixing and plasticization of the material. The pressure sensor system 3 is connected to the mechanical connection channel between the single-screw extruder system 1 and the injection molding machine injection system 2. During the joint working process of the single-screw extruder system 1 and the injection molding machine injection system 2, the processed material is transported to the second single screw. In the compression section area of the screw 25, the plasticization of the first single screw 14 and the second single screw 25 is a whole linkage process. During the plasticization process, when the first single screw 14 of the single screw extrusion system 1 rotates, the second single screw 25 of the injection molding machine injection system 2 also rotates together; when the plasticization is completed, the first single screw 14 of the single screw extrusion system 1 and the second single screw 25 of the injection molding injection system 2 stop rotating at the same time; compared with the twin-screw mixing system, the new design greatly reduces the difficulty of operating the equipment, and simplifies the complexity of the equipment. It does not need to be equipped with professional operators, and only needs to simply set the equipment to automatically complete the corresponding working process.
[0053] During the plasticizing stage, the second single screw 25 rotates to ensure further plasticizing and metering of the processed material. When the second single screw 25 is plasticized and metered, the second single screw 25, the first single screw 14 and the weight loss metering system stop working at the same time, that is, the whole system works intermittently according to the plasticizing cycle.
[0054] During the injection stage, the single screw extrusion system 1 and the weight loss metering system are in standby mode, and the second single screw 25 performs injection. The second single screw 25 can meet the plasticization and metering accuracy and is compatible with conventional injection applications.
[0055] Furthermore, if only material injection molding is performed, the extrusion system can be directly shut down and switched to the production and use of a conventional injection molding machine, thereby increasing the application scope of this direct mixing equipment.
[0056] In other embodiments, 60% PP resin matrix, 5% mineral powder and 35% chopped glass fiber are added to the loss-in-weight metering system, each component is stored independently in a separate hopper, the temperature of the single-screw extrusion system 1 is set to 240°C, and the barrel temperature of the injection molding machine injection system 2 is set to 245°C. The injection molding machine template closes and applies clamping force. When injection starts, the nozzle 22 opens, and the second single screw 25 completes the injection pressure holding action. At this time, the injection speed is 50 mm / s, and the pressure holding pressure is 300 bar. After 3 seconds, the pressure holding ends, the nozzle 22 is closed, and the cooling and plasticizing stage is entered. The second single screw 25 of the injection molding machine injection system 2 rotates simultaneously with the first single screw 14 of the single screw extrusion system 1. At this time, the weight loss metering system unloads the material according to the set component ratio. The melt after mixing is transported to the injection molding machine injection system 2 by the single screw extrusion system 1 through the melt channel of the second feeding port 23. At the same time, the second single screw 25 accurately meters the melt to prepare for the next injection. After the cooling time is over, the injection molding machine lowers the clamping force, the template opens, and the product is ejected.
[0057] In this embodiment, the rotation speed of the second single screw 25 is matched with the rotation speed of the single screw extrusion system 1. The screw speed of the single screw extrusion system 1 is set to 250rpm, the matching value is 38%, the speed of the second single screw 25 is automatically switched to 95rpm, the back pressure is set to 20bar, the storage position is 110mm, the maximum pressure of the pressure sensor 3 is 200bar, the preset alarm pressure value is 120bar, and the preset shutdown pressure value is 150bar.
[0058] An embodiment of one aspect of the present invention, see Figure 4 As shown, a composite propeller component of a low-altitude aircraft is provided, and the propeller component is processed by an injection molding machine.
[0059] The processing steps are: Step 1: Each component is stored in a sufficient amount in the hopper through the first feeding port 12 and fed; wherein the formula component ratio is 55% of PA resin matrix, 5% of mineral powder, and 40% of chopped glass fiber; the temperature of the single screw extruder system 1 is 290°C; the temperature of the barrel of the injection molding machine injection system 2 is set to 295°C; Step 2: The injection molding machine template is closed and clamped, the nozzle 22 is opened, the injection system 2 of the injection molding machine completes the injection action, and the pressure is maintained. After the pressure is maintained, the nozzle 22 is closed; wherein, the first section injection length is 180mm-170mm, and the injection speed is 35mm / s; the second section injection length is 170mm-19mm, and the injection speed is 50mm / s; the third section injection length is 19mm-12mm, and the injection speed is 50mm / s; the pressure holding pressure is 300bar, and the pressure holding time is 3s; Step 3: The injection molding machine injection system 2 and the single screw extrusion system 1 rotate simultaneously, and the weight loss metering system discharges materials according to the preset component ratio. The mixed melt is transported to the injection molding machine injection system 2 through the single screw extrusion system 1, and the pressure sensor 3 measures the pressure during the melt transmission; wherein, the single screw extrusion system 1 rotates at 260rpm, the matching value is 35%, the injection molding machine injection system 2 rotates at 91rpm, the back pressure is 20bar, and the storage position is 180mm; the pressure sensor 3 sets the alarm pressure value to 149bar and the shutdown pressure value to 150bar; Step 4: Cool the melt. After cooling, the injection molding machine lowers the clamping force, opens the mold plate and takes out the product.
[0060] In this embodiment, the rotation speed of the second single screw 25 of the injection molding machine injection system 2 matches the rotation speed of the first single screw 14 of the single screw extrusion system 1, and the percentage can be freely set; in order to protect the safety of the equipment, the maximum pressure that the pressure sensor 3 can withstand is 200 bar.
[0061] When the composite propeller component is processed, the control system selects operation without the single-screw extrusion system 1 (Operation without EXT), and the equipment is switched to the standard injection molding mode.
[0062] In this embodiment, please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the third feeding port 24 is used for unloading. First, the cleaning material is added for rapid cleaning to discharge the previously processed material. The temperature of the injection system 2 of the injection molding machine is set to 260°C. After the temperature stabilizes, 30% long glass fiber reinforced PP raw material is added for other parts processing.
